The Bhagavad Gita: A Workshop

Save the Date!

Saturday September 26 and Sunday September 27, 9:30 – 5:00

Please join Dr. Marcel Ringawa and Sujata Ringawa for a day of teachings on The Bhagavad Gita.

What is The Bhagavad Gita? The Bhagavad Gita translates as “Song of the Blessed One.” It is a beloved ancient text and was part of the Indian epic The Mahabharata. The story takes place on the battlefield of Kuru. Just before he is about to fight with the Pandavas against the Kauravas, the warrior Arjuna has a breakdown and it is up to his charioteer Krishna to persuade him to live his dharma and move forward with the fight. This beautiful and richly-layered poem can be read as a metaphor for the battle with the ego. Krishna offers Arjuna a philosophical perspective on how to live. Here are some lines from the Bhagavad Gita (translation by Stephen Mitchell):

2:47 You have a right to your actions,

but never to your actions’ fruits.

Act for the action’s sake.

And do not be attached to inaction.

Please take action and join us for this wonderful workshop. It will be a daylong teaching on the text. Dr. Marcel Ringawa and Sujata Ringawa are co-founders of Yoga Lifeworks www.yogalifeworks.com and will bring their humor, curiosity and excitement to the day.
